Calvin Lavell Garron, 51, of Fridley, was run over Friday afternoon in the 6000 block of NE. East River Road, the Anoka County Sheriff's Office said.
Police were alerted shortly after 5:15 p.m. of Garron being down on the ground. He was dead by the time officers arrived.
At the time he was hit, Garron was wearing a dark jacket, blue jeans, black and white shoes, and carrying items in a plastic bag, according to the Sheriff's Office.
The vehicle involved likely has front-end damage, read a statement from the Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Tierney Peters declined Tuesday to say whether investigators have a vehicle description or whether there is any surveillance video that could assist in finding the vehicle or the driver.
"To protect the integrity of this case, we are unable to share more information at this time," Peters said. "We are committed to pursuing a thorough investigation that will hopefully bring some peace to Mr. Garron's family and friends."
Anyone with information about the case is being urged to contact the Sheriff's Office at (763) 427-1212.
